Rado DiaStar Original Skeleton: Warm Autumn Colors
Rado’s DiaStar Original Skeleton receives an autumn-inspired update, featuring two new gold‑toned models that combine the brand’s proprietary Ceramos composite—high‑tech ceramic with metal—for a shatter‑proof, scratch‑resistant case. The 38 mm helmet‑shaped case is finished in either warm rose gold or yellow gold PVD coating, with a radially brushed bezel, stainless‑steel middle case, and a sapphire crystal over the dial that showcases the skeletonised automatic calibre R808, complete with golden‑coloured components, white Super‑LumiNova accents, and a signature gold anchor at 9 o’clock. Water resistance is rated at 100 metres, and the movement offers an 80‑hour power reserve, Nivachron hairspring, and regulation in five positions. The watches are paired with a sporty brown rubber strap equipped with Rado’s EasyClip interchangeable system and a gold‑coloured PVD‑coated steel pin buckle. Retail prices are EUR 2,600 (approximately USD 2,700). The collection highlights Rado’s long‑standing commitment to innovative materials, tracing back to the original 1962 DiaStar’s scratch‑proof tungsten carbide case and its evolution through ceramic technologies.
